Donald Curry, hoping to advance to a title match, will fight Rigo Lopez in a 10-round junior middleweight bout tonight at the Reseda Country Club at 8 p.m.

If Curry beats Lopez, he will fight former junior middleweight champion Lupe Aquino Jan. 3 in Italy in a title unification fight.

Curry lost his welterweight title to Lloyd Hunnygun last year. He has a 27-2 record with 20 KOs. His last fight was June 18 against the World Boxing Assn. junior middleweight Mike McCallum. Curry was knocked out in fifth round.
